Del was smartly dressed and launched into a very fast ‘Tell The Truth’ he spoke only to announce ‘this is called red wine’. He encored with a great ‘let it rain’. in retrospect, i was fortunate to see clapton at the very end of his ‘classic’ period, he played very well-and loud. i have seen him a number of times since,it seems to me that he has all too often lacked the passion of this time.

It’s far from being a tape that you will listen to very often…

Best version I know of is the Tarantura 35th Anniversary box set of a few years back. Never heard the St Louis show so can’t comment.

If GF wants to work it’s remastering magic, then the “Skydog” show, when Duane Allman joined them for one of the only two times they played Layla, that would be welcome. And the St. Louis show for the other time they played Layla. That’s a hard show to find really.

To me Delaney ruined it with some pretty awful guitar playing. At times he’s just making a noise. Little wonder he wasn’t asked back again. The rest of the band are fine with EC playing great guitar, but because of Delaney I don’t listen to it that often.

I agree with “Slowhander” that Godfather has improved the guitars in the mix and this only adds to the enjoyment of this show. I’ve always focused on “Why Does Love Have To Be So Sad” and “Let It Rain” and no exceptions here. . This is not to say that the rest of the show and bonus track are not enjoyable also. I would like to thank the taper for capturing this moment in time and sharing. Gatefold contains 8 various pictures of Clapton including several live shots. recommended for even the casual fans
